5 Reader Engagement Rings That Are Pretty Enough to Make You Forget That the Groundhog Is a Liar! (Srsly, That Rodent Is a Jerk.)

I am SO bejiggity about this sad excuse for springtime, that I've considered writing a strongly worded letter to Punxsutawney Phil, the jerk of a groundhog who promised that by mid-March we'd be well on our way warmer weather—not in the middle of ANOTHER snow storm. But instead of penning a letter to a rodent, I decided to spend some time in my stash of engagement ring photos. Probably more productive for everyone involved. Enjoy!

Engagement Ring 1

Barbara's often asked if her vintage-style ring is a family heirloom. "I love that it's unostentatious without being boring," she says.

Engagement Ring 2

Ashley LOST her engagement ring while surfing in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and couldn't find it after a two-hour search, so she had to fly to California without it. When she got home, she contacted a man from the Outer Banks with a metal detecting blog (!!) and he was able to find it after an hourlong search the following day!!! She keeps trying to send him a reward, but he always returns them! Who else is crying?

Engagement Ring 3

Mandy got engaged during a trip to Niagara Falls, but her ring didn't make it there, so her guy proposed with a mood ring instead. "I had to wait a month for this Megan Thorne ring," she says. "I'm in love with it!"

Engagement Ring 4

Marcela's boyfriend proposed with this vintage ring, which belonged to his great-aunt! "I love it," she says! (Oh, and wrote in all the way from Argentina! So cool!)

Engagement Ring 5

Megan's boyfriend of six years used the stone from her grandmother's wedding ring to design this sparkler. People told her not to wait around for him, "but I know we were meant to be," she says. Awwwww!
